Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 30, 2024

EVERY ONE of those visible jersey numbers are illegal in both high school and college basketball.

From “Yeet” to “Fweet”.

What happens at Barney’s stays at Barney’s.

We got trouble! Right here in Milford City! With a capital T and that rhymes with B and that stands for Beth!

I think if I was in this strip, I’d spend all my free time at Barney’s. The whole strip and storyline is hideous.

Which one of the 3 in panel 2 is Marty’s kid? Or is Cami Marty’s secret kid?

What drove Marty Moon to drink? Harboring ill Will to Gil because GT could rebound from a broken marriage with a new relationship? Marty desperately wanting to be a winner so he latches onto Coach No Nads? The floor is open.

Gil and Cami look very recognizable today. And speaking of recognizing, you should recognize that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

P2: Rock- rock- paper.

That’s quite an edit block, it won’t let me like James’ comment

P-1: Talk a little, cheep a little talk, talk, talk! Talk a lot, talk a little more.

P-2: I think it’s nice of those kids to play with another kid who has a small basketball for an arm.

P-3: Gil tries the hint he got from that Bogart/Bacall movie, last night.

Today’s trivia gem: We learn that Yeet is the younger brother of fweet.

are they playing basketball in panel two or is this the new hot potato team ?

cami asks gil did you wash that whistle beforing using it. gil replies still cleaner then where you put your mouth every night

peaches should be back by valentine day if you were wondering where she was

Gilemma: (noun) When a secondary character withholds vital information from a primary character concerning another secondary character’s interaction with a tertiary character.

Beth is following the The rule: “What happens at Barney’s Stays at Barney’s!”

Gotta hand it to Beth for not runnin home and squealin to Gil like a little tattle tale

P2- 1st word balloon is Gil. 2nd balloon is Cami. P3- Cami responds to her own comment? It makes sense without “Oh?”. Or just use “Oh!”. Henry, it’s not too late to take that ESL class.

We’ve hit Day 900 of Henry’s abomination.

P2 – That is the smallest basketball I’ve ever seen.
